Bateshwar Sthan ( Sanskrit: बटेश्वर स्थान ) is an ancient site related to the Vedic sage Brahmarshi Vashishtha at Kahalgaon in Bhagalpur district of Bihar, India. It is believed as the Taposthali ( penance place ) of the sage Vashishtha where he established Shivlinga known as Bateshwar Nath Mahadeva. According to Puranas, the sage Vashistha was the Kulguru (royal teacher) of the King Nimi in the Videha Kingdom later also called as Mithila Kingdom.
